Suddenly... in north Carolina... A Viscous attack on the majority of the Plantations occur. The Plantation owners are publicly humiliated. The slaves begin massive uprisings around the CSA. The Troops moving into florida are met by rebels. The Rebels push back, and unleash a nasty surprise, over one hundred massive Alligators are released into the heart of the CSA encampment.

While the troops are distracted by the Alligators, the rebels sneak in and murder the commanding officers and set fires around the camp. before they are discovered they race back into the shadows of the everglades. They begin to contact the cherokee tribes, and convince them to assault texas.

Rebels work hand in hand with the brigades in Iowa helping to protect Iowa from Missouri.

[The Cherokees and other tribes in Seqouyah (Oklahoma) are slaveholders, did you know? And also how is this all being planned?]

The Confederates don't treat the gators as being terribly effective - when you have guns, teeth aren't that formidable in terms of weaponry. Also, beings as there are more than a few soldiers present, the Negro attack is brutally smashed without reaching its objective.

The revolting slaves elsewhere are met with initial success, but the militias crack down hard on even non revolting slaves - with the amount of French supplies pouring into the country, they are much better equipped and have popular support(among whites, anyhow).

Japan continues their industrialization. France pushes into the Midwest and up the Mississippi. The CSA contacts the Empire of Mexico and promises them New Mexico Territory and California in exchange for help gangraping the USA.

Great Britain captures Baltimore and pushes into the Ohio valley. Light resistance allows the British to rapidly advance into Illionios, with a special force capturing several forts on the Mississippi. A detachment is sent down the Ohio River, and successfully links up with Confederate forces.

The French and Confederate forces continue their push into the Midwest, while trying (with large amounts of success) to incite the Plains Indians to join them when possible. Radical Mormon leaders ignite a rebellion in Utah and some surrounding lands based on discrimination against Mormon marital practices and attempt to form the nation of Deseret.

[If we're breaking the USA, we're breaking it as much as possible. Trey, if you salvage this I will be surprised, especially when I get ahold of some more ways to break parts off the Union.]

The British continue their advance, and quickly tear across Iowa and Nebraska. The British pause at the base of the Rockys to await reinforcements and supplies. While they wait, they make good relations with the Native Americans in the area.

(I could yell my head off about how impractical this whole thing is for you guys, noting several historical inaccuracies, not to mention practicallity inaccuracies. And Jeffrey started this RP with the assumption that I would make peace with the confederates and attack Canada, which the U.S. would never do. Finally, Britain has apparently had one hundred percent accuracy in my absence. But I shall refrain from complaining more, and simply take advantage of the gaping loopholes you've left me.)

The U.S., who allowed Britain to invade, after Britain refused to ignore the minor dispute around the great lakes area, decides Britain has gone far enough. The massive Force of Union Insurgents building up wherever the British went is released. They specifically target the massively long supply lines of their (British AND French) enemies and then vanish into the country they know so well after seizing the supplies. Meanwhile, a small force of artilery and infantry divisions comes up behind the British Forces, pinning them strategically against he base of the Rocky Mountains. They issue this ultimatum; "Peace or Death."

Meanwhile, although they are willing to surrender some of Canada for peace with Britain, a force marchs north and retakes the city of Quebec, beginning to starve out all the British forts downstream. They also dangle the possibility of regaining Canada out to the French and displaced Cajun people, if they might consider changing their stance regarding the U.S. and the CSA.

For Propaganda, the Union pulls out their standard array of evangelical ministers and diplomats in that same vain. Some go to France, and shame them for not remembering their own revolution; "Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité!" The diplomats cry. Some go to the Indians, they remind the people there that the nature of slavery demands more slaves, and whatever the CSA and its allies may say now, the Spanish had no qualms about enslaving helpful natives. The Union, Flush with Republican Justice, declares it shall restore the Indian's rightful territory in the Rebellious states, so long as they will consent to statehood themselves, as soon as slavery and other racial injustices are ended. And of course, the mission to Britain focuses on the cruelty highlighted in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the British Government's unwillingness to be understanding about a minor border dispute in troubled times.

Meanwhile, the same guerrilla union forces that attacked the supply lines of the British retake many of the U.S. cities "captured" by the British, as clearly no one in the U.S. is in support of British occupation. They make no effort to control the country side, but similar efforts are made against whatever British troops are there by the country farmers and peasants, to the joyful cheering of their American Brethren in the Cities. Among the first and most important cities to fall to these attacks are Boston and the Mississippi river fort towns Britain took. Thus control of the Mississippi is restored.

The Union, in recognition of Britain's superior naval power, makes plans in port cities to retreat in case of shelling, and retake them when forces try to come ashore.

Meanwhile, the Union also questions the Confederacy, (on the down low, of course) what the European powers will do after they're finished preventing Union supremacy, and whether they would really aquiesce to Confederate control of things.

(Also, Jeff, Alex, if either of you would ever care to respond to my earlier posts, now might be the time. I'd particularly like you to give status updates, mister gangrape DM.)

Note, the union is going to make it VERY hard for Britain and France to get reinforcements so long as they are fighting the Union. Assuming your supplies aren't coming in Ironclads, (which would probably be horribly inefficient, so please, go ahead and do that) The Union targets supply vessels with a small coastal fleet, also using hit and run tactics.

The Union failed to properly estimate the size of the British forces they were attacking, and we're quickly defeated by the overwhelming numbers of superior troops. (namely at Quebec and Boston). British artillery quickly zeroes in on the Union guns and smashes them. The British then launched counterinsurgency operations, although they are only marginally successful. Reinforcements pour into the Eastern ports. The trained and well equipped British army develop tactics to counter the Guerrilla warfare strategy used by the Union forces. The British also begin development on a new kind of war machine (you guys obviously don't know this).

The Mexican Empire sends a message saying it accepts America's call for help, on three conditions.

1. California is handed over without trouble after the war.2. Mexican troops are not to be attacked by Mormons.3. Because of the sheer distance, the Mexican troops are to be used to defend California and the surrounding area.

[My ruling is thus: you shall find it in the OOC thread I installed. The whole point of the OOC threads is for massive wall-of-text debates like me and Trey are fond of. Also, each of you is REQUIRED to make OOC threads for your RPs (Alexandrite, L4D3, 1900s era, AHD, unless I miss my guess).]

The Union makes it thier policy to surround easily accessible harbors with artillery to prevent their being taken. It also invests more heavily in a navy, working at concealed locations, and equipping some new ships with underwater-mine-planting capabilities, as well as standard and particularly Ironclad style ships. Submarines are recondiered. Some engineers consider the possibility of entirely metal ships, with a devillish gleam in their eye, but are treated somewhat dirisively by their more practical comrades.

The siege of Quebec is modified. If Quebec stands strong, thinks the Union, then we can starve them. Artilery is positioned on the river north of the city and fort, and to the south covering the downriver side of the city, and some covering the northern detachment. In this manner, ships to resupply Quebec can be sunk en route, (again, excepting ironclads, I guess) Quebec can continue to be shelled and if Quebec tries to sally forth to take out the supply-destroying troops, or if troops march/sail north to come to Quebec's aid, such actions can be easily targeted by the covering artillery and their accompanying infantry.

Also, the offer to the Indians is modified; "You can have the land you have right now, and administer it yourselves, if you help us against the Confederates. We only meant that you could have your preference of land and power if you help us here. We will respect rights previously ignored by others, with force if neccessary, if you stand by Freedom here."

Also, The Union extends this to Deseret. "If you do not take up arms, you will be crushed by someone. Join the glorious Union cause, and we'll give you recognition."

Quebec is well armed, defended, and supplied. The Artillery crews manning the guns in Quebec are the best, and with the help of spies in the countryside, quickly zero in and destroy a number of Union guns, but not all. Mainly the ones with the most optimal firing positions on the waterways are targeted and put out of action. The British continue work on their secret project.

Secret plans make their way to the hands of the U.S government. it calles for a shaped cannon round which would peirce Iron clads in a single shot. The note is from the slave rebellion.

The slaves begin making efforts to claim florida for their own. They adopt techniques of the natives and use gorilla warfare.

Results are very promsing. The rebels ambush a C.S.A Convoy. they take more ammunition and gunpowder. Along with many guns. More shaped rounds are developed by symethetic scientists in florida which is more welcoming to the slave rebels then anticipated.

The spies in the country are hanged, and thanking Great Britain for the Idea, the Union has their spies deliver to the Union knowledege of the deployments of British non-ironclad ships nearby, and the ones with "optimal placements" are all destroyed by gunners on Union ships who are all aces, preventing resupply of British troops in the near future.

More spies are sent behind British lines, and to Great Britain itself. Also, the artillery surrounding Quebec is reinforced with artillery which had been held back, so there are essentially zero casualties after all is totalled, and the Artillery is all moved out of range of the forts guns, except for that part which is still shelling the fort.

The Union is intrigued by the rebel idea, not to mention impressed by the fact they could get it in to Union hands and that uneducated Black blacksmiths could have such a knowledge. Johnson, becoming more abolitionist by the day, declares that the whoever came up with this has a place in his cabinet if he survives the war.

After testing it to be sure it works, the Union puts the special shell into production, and begins arming the secretly made ironclads with these shells, with renewed hope and vigor.

Prussia, one of the Germanic States. Begins to create a sense of Nationalism in the Tribes of "Germany". They Use this to Unite the Tribes under their Kaiser Fredrik Nielandt.
